4-round Jaguars 2018 NFL mock draft, post Senior Bowl edition

It’s once again that time of the year where we can start posting mock drafts of our own as we did last offseason leading up until April’s draft. This time around, things will be different, however, as the Jacksonville Jaguars will be picking in the back of the draft order after a phenomenal 2017 season.

With the Senior Bowl now in the books and the combine coming up, we headed over to Fanspeak.com to use their NFL Draft simulator and below are the selections we made for our Jags Wire 1.0 mock:

No. 29 – Will Hernandez, OG, UTEP

Had Lamar Jackson been available he would’ve been heavily considered here for a variety of reasons. However, Blake Bortles proved to be serviceable enough to hold off at the quarterback position for at least another round.

Instead, I selected Hernandez, who made himself a lot of money at the Senior Bowl. He dominated in 1-on-1 drills and paved some nice lanes throughout his week in Mobile. He also proved to be extremely agile for a 6-foot-2, 340-pound, man in the process. For the Jags and their smashmouth style of play, he’d fit right in. They could put him at left guard in the place of Patrick Omameh, who is set to be a free agent in March.
